Iconic Landmarks Around the World Go Dark for Earth Hour

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement for the planet organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Each year, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on the last Saturday in March, households and businesses are encouraged to turn off their lights as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. Many iconic landmarks around the world participated in this year’s Earth Hour this past weekend. Here are some amazing pictures of the iconic landmarks that went dark.

All very well, BUT, these building don't need illuminating ever - maybe on a few special occasions at most. The tremendous waste and light pollution from such folly lighting is inescusable. One hour a year is not even saving much energy, if only once a year why not all night. Far better if the one hour a year was when the lights were turned on and they were off the rest of the time !
